14.
The four sons of the preceptor of the Surapati were like oceans, the ornament of the earth
and the abode of all wealth and fame. The eldest of them was Aparaditya and from him was
Dharmaditya, a great misfortune to the desires of his foes. 15. His (son) was called Someshvaradeva, who well followed the path
of religion and was untouched by sins. His younger brother was called Bhaskara, whose
beauty humbled the pride of Kamadeva.
16. The Lords of Shri Kashi, the King of Malavadesha, Shri
Siddharaja and other kings worshipped him with faith, believing him to be the champion of
religion on earth. Shri Bhava Brihaspati, who was on this altar like earth as bright and
beautiful as fire, became with his four Veda-like sons a fit object of venerations as
Brahma. |
